More pictures, Mom?!

Feb 19th

Me torturing Molly by dressing her up with a bow on her head and taking pictures with a flash- poor baby :)

Feb 18th

We got to come home after just 24 hours. It was so nice to be at home so fast and get to "sleep" in my own bed. (I say "sleep" because I did have a 1 day old to get up and feed every few hours :)

The oh so cute going home picture!


And the kids greeting Molly.

And Scott and Brock taking turns holding her.

Had to post a few from such a perfect day! Our 4th baby (2nd daughter) Molly was born!!! First pic is Dan giddy telling me "It's a girl!" (We didn't find out before that moment- it was perfect!)
Next pic is Mom, Dad and Molly. Last pic is Dan cutting the cord- and my wonderful Dr. Weibell.

Feb 16th

The day before I had Molly. My fam came into down for it and took the kiddos swimming at the Lehi pool. They had a blast and Dan and I ran some last minute errands. Good times :)

Happy Valentines Day!

Feb 10th

Kara was painting with the water from the water bottle, on the water bottle. And concentrating very hard I might add.

Feb 7th

What a glamorous profile shot? No? (38 weeks preggo)

Feb 5th

The only pic on my camera for this day...

My silly little ones entertaining themselves with our Buzz tent. And the rare shot of the dog. (dogs butt that is- sorry)

Feb 2nd

Everybody was Kung Fu fighting! Heeya! Or tae kwan do. or something. Scott's first day at Karate.

Feb 1st.

A random cool picture. Obviously one of the kids got my camera and took this picture- but they did a good job...

Jan 31st

Dan's new fave hobby is model airplane and helicopter flying. The kids think it's the best thing ever. Dan was trying to teach Brock a little about how to fly but then decided instead to tease him by flying the copter in his face. :)

Jan 30th.

Dan's mom got Kara this cute little beanie when we were in Estonia in Europe. I think it's such a funny but so cute hat! Kara loves it.

Jan 26th

Brock is hilarious. His little mind comes up with the most bizarre things. We happened to both be wearing red shirts on this day and he said since we were on Team Red together we had to take a picture of our bare bellies touching... He's a funny little person for sure!

Jan 25th

Yup- missed a bunch of days again....

But here's what made me happy today. Playing outside with the kids- we were watching Dan fly his model airplanes. Me and my 3 (soon to be 4) kiddos!

Jan 20th

Here's a bunch to make up for lost days... :)

Kara was playing Peek-a-boo with me in one of our o††omans. It was pretty cute!

And then this one was just a really cute face she made while watching a Donald Duck cartoon-

I know it's half out of focus- but I LOVE it!

And this last one I was just playing with different editing.

(I just noticed how much I favor placing my subject in the right 1/3 of the picture... I'll have to work on that- haha)

Jan 18th, I ♥ faces families post

So today I'm trying something new- I'm entering one of my old photos in a photo contest of an online photo group called "I ♥ Faces".

This was from my first newborn session- and it was 1 week old twins. This photo speaks to me about the moment you go from being a woman or a sister or a friend or a wife, to being a mom. It's when your heart about explodes with all the new love you feel for your new "family". I just love the emotion of this picture... a mom's love for the newest members of her family, her babies!

Jan 15th

This is a totally random picture. Most moms find the weirdest stuff in their kids pockets or in the dryer after washing their kids clothes. (I've found like 5-6 littlest pet shop animals at the feet of Kara's pajamas that came straight off her in the morning and into the dryer. (How she slept with them in there I will never know))

Anyways- this is from Dan's clothes the other day found in the dryer after drying his clothes. A giant bullet, 2 pheasant feathers, some weird car part thing, and a broken piece of glass. (I still get kinda freaked out about by finding bullets in the dryer at the end of a cycle- happens all the time around here- but Dan assures me a bullet couldn't go off in the dryer- still freaks me out...) Strange....

Jan 14th

I was playing with depth of field and focal points and what not and liked this picture after I got it on the computer. It totally makes me think of what those 2 cat toys are thinking as Kara joyfully bonks the Zebra on it's head repeatedly. haha.

Jan 13th

I love kids in jammies. It's just such a cute snuggly thing!!! And I love pics where all 3 of my kids are smiling and looking at the same time because that doesn't happen much. :)

(And I'm cheating because this was taken on the 12th... oops)
